Wanted to share a quick ffmpeg win. Grabbed Abbott Elementary S01E07 (the “Gifted Program” episode – peak Ava chaos). Original file was ~1.2 GB (H.264). Ran it through ffmpeg with libx265, CRF 28, kept original audio (copy) and subs.
H.264, ~1.2 GB Output: HEVC, CRF 28, ~480 MB abbott elementary s01e07 ffmpeg
